Yes, I recall that not working as expected. Which is why my approach
manipulates the file descriptors underneath the C library, rather than
mess with the C library itself. If this is done early on in the
program, before any output is generated, it is logically equivalent to
redirecting or pipelining a *NIX application in the shell.
